USB Adaptors

Small USB adaptors from AV:Link for linking phones, drives and peripherals across newer and older ports. The range covers USB 3.0 Type-C socket to Type-A plug and Type-A socket to Type-C plug, both with OTG support so a handset can read a memory stick or keyboard directly. Pocket-sized fixes that keep mismatched leads and devices talking to each other.

Bridging the gap between ports

USB adaptors are the small parts that keep mismatched leads and devices talking to each other. When a cable ends in the wrong shape for the socket in front of you, an adaptor sits in between and lets the two connect, so you can keep using the kit you already own instead of buying a fresh lead every time a port changes.

Type-C and Type-A

This pair covers the two connectors you meet most often. One has a USB 3.0 Type-C socket on a Type-A plug, the other a Type-A socket on a Type-C plug. Between them they let an older Type-A lead reach a Type-C device, or a newer Type-C lead reach a Type-A port, without your having to swap out the whole cable. That makes them a practical bridge as devices move from the older square plug to the newer reversible one.

OTG support

Both adaptors carry OTG support, short for On-The-Go. This means a phone or tablet can act as the host and read an attached drive, keyboard or card reader directly, rather than only being a device that plugs into a computer. It is handy for pulling photos off a memory stick, backing up files or plugging in a keyboard while you are away from a desk.

Built for everyday carry

Being USB 3.0 rated, the adaptors are built for faster transfers, though the speed you actually see still depends on the lead and the devices at each end. They are sturdy enough for repeated plugging and unplugging, which is what a part like this tends to get.

Pocket-sized fixes

These are small enough to live in a bag, a drawer or a laptop case until the moment you need them. Keep one to hand and the awkward moment of having the wrong connector becomes a quick swap rather than a wasted trip to the shop or a stalled job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does OTG mean?
OTG stands for On-The-Go. It lets a phone or tablet act as the host so it can read an attached drive, keyboard or other peripheral directly, instead of only plugging into a computer.

Which way round do these adaptors work?
One has a Type-C socket on a Type-A plug, so a Type-C lead reaches a Type-A port. The other has a Type-A socket on a Type-C plug, so a Type-A lead reaches a Type-C device.

Will an adaptor slow my connection down?
Both are rated to USB 3.0. The speed you actually get still depends on the lead, the port and the device at each end, so the slowest part of the chain sets the pace.

Can I read a memory stick on my phone with one of these?
Yes, that is what the OTG support is for. As long as your phone supports OTG, the adaptor lets it read a connected drive or memory stick directly.
